I don't do requests...




But seriously, the Running Man is one of Ahnulds great "bad" movies.

And MCA is HOTT in this one.

Yeah, watched that on Netflix a few weeks ago.  I liked it.

I thought she did great in Hannibal;  didn't even recognize her at first.

She hasn't changed very much.

Vera Drake, sweet hearted English home abortionist in the 1950's.  Very sad story.

Damn right.  That woman has some impressive combination of skillful plastic surgery and awesome genes.

Btw, dude, if you want the two Kurosawa Sanjuro movies on BD at a decent price, which I do, B+N is selling the two-disc set for $35.

I just saw her in Shadow Dancer. Good flick. She was a blonde.

Finally watched Upstream Color.  Much like Primer it makes a single unusual change in the world and lets it play out in weird ways.  Unlike Primer the consequences are a lot easier to follow, what with not involving time travel.  I could describe it, but why take away the fun. 

It's on Netflix Instant, definitely worth checking out.

I liked it too, but found it far more difficult to get into than Primer, because even though Upstream Color about a vastly different subject matter and themes, Carruth went ahead and made Primer again.  Critics were quick to jump to its defense as "challenging" without understanding how it's challenging.  It's not intellectually challenging, it's aesthetically challenging you to try to connect with these characters, pitting your natural empathy against vignettish editing and the emotional distance Carruth maintains from his characters (despite being one of his characters) at all times.

But yeah, totes recommended nonetheless.
